<a href="http://llvm.org/bugs" target="_blank">llvm.org/bugs</a> has 7965 open bugs at the moment, and a month from now<br>
the oldest one will have its 12th birthday.<br>
<br>
"Nobody working on it" or even "I refuse to work on or review it"<br>
never mind "it's really old and nobody seems to care" is different<br>
from "it's not a bug."<br>
<br>
If LLD evolves into a library some of these issues will become more<br>
consequential. BFD has certainly had security patches in the past,<br>
specifically to avoid mishandling purposely corrupt object files.<o:p></o:p></p>
